Report: Jets Set to Demand Day 2 Picks for Jermaine Johnson and Breece Hall Ahead of Trade Deadline
With the NFL trade deadline approaching and names like Jermaine Johnson and Breece Hall being floated by various outlets, NFL reporter Dianna Russini has some updates on what type of compensation the Jets are looking for.
According to Russini, the Philadelphia Eagles are showing some interest in Johnson which would reunite him former Jets GM Joe Douglas, who is a top personnel man in Philly. In return, the Jets would be looking for a second-round pick or better. It’s a price that the Eagles will be unlikely to match, and shows the Jets value what Johnson brings.
When it comes to Breece Hall, Gang Green is reportedly asking for a third-round pick despite the running back being in the final year of his deal. If the Jets spend big this offseason, a comp pick for Hall becomes very unlikely. Does this mean a franchise tag or long-term deal are a part of the plan? If not, they likely lose Hall and get nothing in return.
Perhaps the most frustrating aspect of the Jets handling of Hall is that through multiple regimes, the team continues to misuse and undervalue the multi-dimensional back. A legitimate weapon as a pass catcher either out of the backfield or split out wide, Hall has averaged just four targets per game. Given the team’s lack of receiving options, he should be seeing double that.
With the deadline just three days, the Jets will be moving forward with our without Jermaine Johnson and Breece Hall once they kick off against the Browns in week 10.
Jalen Hurts Delivers Loud & Clear Message About NFL’s Decision To Pick Bad Bunny For Super Bowl 60 Halftime Show
Jalen Hurts doesn’t understand why people are so upset about Bad Bunny’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. The quarterback made it clear he’s frustrated with all the backlash surrounding the Puerto Rican star’s big performance.
During an appearance on the TODAY show, Hurts looked genuinely surprised when host Craig Melvin mentioned the backlash Bad Bunny is receiving.
“Is there controversy? I swear I don’t know,” he said with raised eyebrows. When Melvin explained that many people, including President Donald Trump, weren’t thrilled with the decision, Hurts just couldn’t relate with the situation.
“But why? I don’t understand that. He’s one of the top artists in the world right now, probably the top,” he responded.
Hurts’s reaction summed up what many fans are thinking. To him, Bad Bunny’s music isn’t about politics or division. It’s about energy, passion, and the kind of showmanship that crosses borders. “I’m so excited for him,” he added. “He puts on a great show. He’s an amazing entertainer.”
Trump Slams, Bunny Fires Back
The controversy kicked off after Trump told Newsmax that he found the NFL’s choice “crazy.” He claimed he’d never heard of Bad Bunny and questioned why the league gave him such a massive stage.
“I don’t know who he is, I don’t know why they’re doing it,” Trump said, calling the move “absolutely ridiculous.”
His longtime advisor Corey Lewandowski also took a swing, accusing the artist of “hating America.” That didn’t sit well with fans or with Bad Bunny himself.
Hosting Saturday Night Live over the weekend, the 31-year-old also gave a clear message with all the talk going around regarding him.
“You might not know this but I’m doing the Super Bowl halftime show,” he joked. “And I think everyone is happy about it even Fox News.” Then he slipped into Spanish, teasing the audience: “If you didn’t understand what I said… you have four months to learn.”
He used that moment to thank the Latinos and Latinas who “opened doors” before him, calling the performance “a win for all of us.”
While Trump rages and critics rant, Hurts seems ready to grab his popcorn. As he put it, Bad Bunny will “blow everybody’s mind.” And honestly, he might be right.
